Mexican Mafia?

Juan Abel Escalante guarded some of the most dangerous inmates in the LA County jails, the LA Times reports today.

Leaders of the Mexican Mafia and other notorious gangs are housed in the single-man cells where Escalante worked.

Deputies live with the knowledge that inmates may attempt to send out an order to have a particular officer killed.

"Law and Order" is more than a television show. It's a daily war in Los Angeles and other major cities of the world.

Meanwhile a young widow makes daily decisions about how to reshape her life and raise her children.
